Shapewear is often referred to as foundation garment or control wear that can help to define the body shape and flatter the figure. It is no longer being used as a tool to look smaller. As a matter of fact, modern shapewear is more about empowering women to embrace their shapes and sizes as well as giving them an extra boost of confidence. Today, shapewear is like the constricting garment that leaves everyone breathless. Thanks to innovative fabric and modern manufacturing technologies, the shaping garment now is flexible and comfortable to wear.
Many women want to hide the lumps and bumps on their bodies and shapewear is the perfect solution for this. Wearing shapewear is a safe way to boost self-esteem without going for surgery.

The Different Types of Shapewear
The first step is to find the right shapewear to enhance your natural curves.
